I think Lionel made a too-long PRR K-4 using this chassis, too, before switching to the K-Line tooling. The photos above do seem to show a loco that is too long in the firebox area for a Pacific. (I turned my TMCC "Erie" into a Hudson; waiting on re-lettering; makes a great freelance 4-6-4.)
Bingo! Every time I look at one of the new Pacific's the firebox gets longer. It's in dire need of a 2 axle truck lol.
Having said that. I really hope those that ordered them enjoy them.
